<p>Chicago's Bike to Work Week and Bike Commuter Challenge are just around the corner: June 15th through 19th. Active Trans is seeking volunteers to help out at Pit Stops Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6 AM to 9 AM! You'd be inviting commuters into the stop, helping spread the word about transit advocacy, and helping share delicious snacks and Dark Matter Coffee. Plus sharing good mornings with the people who are staring at your taillight or messenger bag most days and taking a little break on your way to work, school or errands. </p>
<p></p>
<p>A list of pit stops can be found here: <a href="http://bikecommuterchallenge.org/page/pit_stop_schedule">http://bikecommuterchallenge.org/page/pit_stop_schedule</a> and we'd love for folks to sign up for as many as they'd like! </p>
<p></p>
<p>We will also be having a closing party/celebration at the Lincoln Park Whole Foods on Kingsbury, June 19th from 4 PM to 8 PM. We'd love to have volunteers come help and encourage attendees to recycle and compost, as well as help out as needed at the event. You'd get drinks and swag for your effort as well as an entrance into our first Rock the Rooftop Bike to Work Week Closing Party!</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can reach me at carmen@activetrans.org if you're interested. I know it is short notice, but we'd love your help. I know most of us will be commuting that week, but if you have a morning to spare (even only an hour for a shift), we'd so appreciate it! Let me know if you have questions, concerns, or want to share cool bike memes.</p> Bucephalus Bikes seeks experienced mechanic.tag:thechainlink.org,2014-03-03:2211490:Topic:8004872014-03-03T17:29:47.481ZAlex Anonhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/AlexAnon

<p>Hello!! I'm looking for someone to help deliver food (via bicycle) for a Lincoln Park restaurant on Saturday (June 29) and/or Sunday (June 30). If you can do both days, that would definitely be ideal! The shift is the same time on both days and goes from 8am to 3pm. It pays $3 per delivery plus tips. I would also throw in $20 for each day because you'd be helping me out of a real jam.</p>

<p>If you think you might be able to do it (or know someone who might be able to do it) or have any questions, give me a shout via the private message thing or the public message thing and I'll get back to you ASAP!!</p>
<p>Delivery experience is of course preferable, but there isn't really much to it - all very straightforward. I reckon as long as you have a trusty bike, a decent sized back pack/delivery bag/other variety of bag, and can keep a moderate pace while keeping your eyes peeled for wacko drivers you'll be just fine!</p>
<p>If for no other reason, you'd be working with a bunch of real chillin' folks.</p>
<p>Thank you!!!!!!!!!!</p>
